Chapter 235 The Domineering Mutombo (2 More, Please Subscribe)
This time was different from the previous two times.
Zhou Yan knows that currently no team can allow him to completely mess around.
This has nothing to do with personal ability.
The team needs to make a profit, and the capitalists will not make a loss-making business.
Zhou Yan doesn't choose teammates, but it doesn't mean he can find people to form a team at will.
The union has been trying to prevent something like this from happening since its inception.
It has been the norm for the past few hundred years for the capitalists to ride on the head of the working class. The first problem that will arise when the working class turns their backs is nonsense.
This kind of nonsense refers to playing for the sake of playing. At that time, basketball is no longer a competitive sport, but an entertainment activity.
The alliance must maintain a balance.
Capitalists can't do whatever they want with their wealth and wealth, and the working class can't mess around with their influence.
Jordan represented the pinnacle of individual heroes of that era.
Everyone in "May 20" loves personal heroism, so he dared to force the palace management, and the Bulls had to follow Jordan's will to operate the transaction.
The result is political correctness.
All acts of speech that cannot be unified are classified as heresy.
Just like what Pat Riley said to Zhou Yan: "Stern just wanted to create a god to inspire people, save the league, and then promote the league to the world. change of weather."
It is undoubtedly a very cool thing to select players to form a team completely according to personal will.
Brother basketball means that competitors do not need to pay too much running-in cost, and it represents "de-professionalization" to a certain extent.
The management has worked hard for more than 20 years to save the alliance from the abyss of being on the verge of collapse. De-professionalization is to return to chaos. It is already quite merciful to fight until the end of doom.
Cuban is one of the few big players in the league who is interested in basketball. The Mavericks also like to use international players. There is only one reason why Zhou Yan doesn't go to Dallas - he can't get it.
The overall atmosphere of the team is too buddhist, no one wants to toss and no one is willing to toss.
That day Zhou Yan spent nearly two hours with Lacey on the issue of "tossing the right".
Zhou Yan still had this idea during the Heat period, otherwise it would be hard to say whether Mickey would sign the additional contract.
New Jersey has only one team, the Nets.
At that time, what Mark said almost meant Zhou Yan to play in the Nets. After all, the fit of the lineup was close to perfect, but he didn’t know that for Zhou Yan, perfection often equals boring
Of course Zhou Yan's trip to New Jersey was not for Kidd, nor for Kenyon Martin.
With these two current coffee positions, coupled with the Nets' record in the past two years, it may not be possible for Reis to win if he wants to.
Kidd has been selected to the best team and the best defense team for three consecutive years, and Martin is about to go to the All-Star team. In this way, it is impossible to get these people together without a luxury tax of 20 million.
What Atlanta can't achieve, New Jersey can. The problem is that Zhou Yan doesn't want to come.
Money can't buy you happiness.
Another suggestion that needs to happen is naturally the African mountain Dikembe Mutombo.
What the old Reis said is right. There are big problems in the way of dating in Africa. If the normal calendar is used, Dikembe Mutombo will be at least... 38 years old this year?
Even 40 years old.
What is the concept of 40 years old for basketball players?
Take the first person of each era as an example. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is considered to be the superstar with the longest career. When he retired at the age of 40, he lost almost all of his speed, stamina and jumping. In the next few years, there will be no All-Stars and the best team to enter.
There is still a big difference between the voting in that era and the voting after 2000, with strength first and popularity second.
The strength is not enough, and the popularity is useless. Fans are in the fan circle, and straight judges will not be used to it.
Except Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the only one who is still playing in the league at the age of 40 is... the African mountain?
Zhou Yan's first words when he saw Mutombo were not hello, not even a normal greeting, but——I want to know your age.
"my age?"
Mutombo didn't know why Zhou Yan came, and he didn't know why Zhou Yan asked.
But he is an honest man.
Honest people also have doubts, but they prefer to put the priority of "asking" behind.
If the problem is in front of you, then solve the problem.
"If you follow the African calendar, then I am 36 years old."
"According to the method here?"
"I can't remember clearly, either 39 or 40 years old, in short, it will not be lower than 36, nor higher than 43."
When a person reaches 40, he is middle-aged......
Zhou Yan suddenly thought of Lebron James.
This time next year, Mutombo will be one year older, and James will enter the league as a high school student.
18 years old.
There was more than a full round of difference between the two.
Only when you think of these cold knowledge occasionally, can you feel the difference between the alliance and the world.
Some people grow up day by day, some people age day by day.
The same is the growth of age, but the meaning of growth will suddenly change after reaching a certain point in time.
"In my life, the part about my growing up is over, and the time after that is just getting old slowly.
Mutombo is 40 years old and is about to usher in the third stage of his life.
According to the three stages of "seeing the mountain is the mountain", "seeing the mountain is not the mountain", and "seeing the mountain is still the mountain", Dikembe will soon meet himself.
Because it is essentially a process of "seeing the world", "seeing all living beings" and "seeing oneself".
"Then when do you plan to retire?"
"Before you answer that question, kid."
Mutombo is aware of Zhou Yan's status in the world, but he never cares about it.
During the long peak years, in addition to the four major centers, Michael Jordan's name was always written on the list of his opponents.
If you admit defeat and bow your head in advance just because the other party is more famous and more gimmick, then basketball will lose the passion and boldness of "the prince and general Xiangning have kindness".
Until the last moment, no one can say that it is safe to win.
3.8 So he dared to call Zhou Yan "boy".
Be prepared to say that the African mountains are like this to any player in the league.
No one was older, no one had weathered more, no one had suffered as he had.
Before answering this question, I want to ask you another question. "
"Please say."
Zhou Yan was always polite.
Mutombo deserves respect.
"Why are you so interested in my age? It seems like a lot of people are like that."
"Because you look much older than your official age."
"Hahahahahaha!"
Mutombo's laughter sounded like the sound of an old blower forced to operate.
"I'll tell you one thing, put my face back in my hometown, not only will I look younger among my peers, but according to the most popular vocabulary nowadays, I'm even a handsome guy.
